Welcome to Michigan
Peace Team!
Michigan
Peace
Team (MPT) empowers people
to engage in active nonviolent peacemaking.
MPT was started in 1993, in
response to the growing need for civilian peacemakers both in
the U.S. and abroad.
We offer nonviolence
training workshops and provide opportunities to join peace
teams.
We
seek a just world grounded in nonviolence and respect for the sacred
interconnectedness of all life.
Settlers from Havat Gilad uprooted and burned the
olive tree
seedlings of Palestinian residents the day
MPT visited.

Has peace in the Middle East become nothing more than a

Minutes"

and Palestinians feel that a two-state solution
is no longer possible.
